Apr 1, 2025April 2025 (woocommerce/sift-for-woocommerce): Key reliability and data-quality improvements for transaction events. Major bug fix delivered: ensure transaction events are consistently sent for all orders (no gating for free orders). Refined user ID handling by prioritizing the order's user ID in event tracking. Cleaned the event payload by excluding null/empty values to improve data accuracy and processing efficiency. Commits implemented: c003d3e9b8a261683406672cda31b7540d2144f8; c6475c19a5963945507861e9d8bfe8fdda241c81. Impact: improved attribution accuracy, reduced data gaps, and cleaner downstream analytics. Technologies/skills demonstrated: backend event tracking, data quality governance, and traceable commits.
